I got a bad door ding shortly after buying mine as well. To make it worse, there was black paint embedded in the finish... looked really bad.

I took a claybar to it and was able to remove the paint (It wouldn't simply scrub out). Afterwards, the ding was and still is hardly noticable.

Because of the cladding, I thought the doors of other vehicles would just bounce off the plastic. Whatever dinged me must have been riding high for the door edge to get past it. That's what I get for being overconfident!
